Announcing ADMAT 2.0 Professional: An Automatic Differentiation Toolbox
ADMAT 2.0 Professional is designed to help a MATLAB user compute the
first and second derivatives of a smooth nonlinear function and their
related structures such as gradients, Jacobians, and Hessians
efficiently, accurately, and automatically. ADMAT 2.0 Professional
offers the following features:
1. Forward mode for the first order derivative computation
2. Reverse mode for the first order derivative computation
3. Mechanisms and procedures for combining automatic differentiation
of M-files with the finite differencing approximation for MEX files
4. Efficient evaluation of sparse Jacobians and sparse Hessians
5. Computation of the sparsity structure of Jacobians and Hessians
6. A template design for the efficient calculation of "structured" Jacobian
and Hessian matrices
7. Efficient and direct computation of Newton steps while avoiding the
full calculation of the Jacobian and/or Hessian matrices when appropriate.
ADMAT 2.0 Professional is available for a 30-day free trial
period. ADMAT 2.0 Student is a slimmed down version of ADMAT 2.0
Professional. It is available free of charge for a period of up to 6
months.

Subject: Prize offered by SCM for efficient integration
The document "Robust Mathematical Methods for Extremely Rare Events"
http://www.scmsa.com/BB_rare_events_2009_08.pdf
dated August 2009, by Bernard Beauzamy, uses the computation of a multiple
integral, over a complicated domain in a many-dimensional space, in order to
estimate a probability. This approach is inherent to the method itself.
However, the computation of the integral is done in a way which might not be
the best : the function to integrate is a polynomial in one variable (with
degree >100 in our case), with rational coefficients (all coefficients are
of the form m/n, where m and n are very large integers). In the paper, all
coefficients are computed exactly, using the symbolic capabilities of Maple.
Therefore, the integration is slow and requires considerable memory in the
computer. Typically, at this point, our method requires 30 multiple
integrations, each of which takes around 20 minutes on an ordinary computer.
We would be interested to know if other numerical approaches are possible in
order to compute such multiple integrals, with sufficient accuracy.
We offer a prize of Euros 1,000 to the best solution : solution that can
handle the requirements of speed, accuracy, and adaptability (not just our
example, but any such example). Solutions may be provided by individuals or
by teams.
The solutions should be sent by email to scm.sa@orange.fr
no later than March 31st, 2010.
The best solution, besides the prize, will be posted on the "Robust
Mathematical Modeling" web site and will be communicated to all participants
to the RMM program, worldwide (see http://www.scmsa.com/robust.htm).

Deadline Friday, 25th September 2009
We are seeking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Researcher to investigate extrinsic
noise in gene expression in mammalian cells and examine couplings to the cell
cycle. The project aims to investigate the origins of the pronounced, global,
variability observed between different cells in clonal populations and how
variability might impact on other processes in both cell and organism. The
PDRA will work with experimental data from the lab of Dr Francisco Iborra
(Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine) and will develop theoretical
treatments with Prof Bela Novak (Biochemistry) and Dr Nick Jones (Physics).
The researcher will have a desk in the Jones lab but will have a principal
base in the group of Prof Novak. This topic is approached by researchers in
many fields so applications from across the disciplines will be considered.
The appointment is of 2 years duration and would, desirably, start soon after
a candidate is selected (though some flexibility is possible). Informal
enquiries to sysbio-enquiries@bioch.ox.ac.uk
Applicants should possess a PhD or equivalent (or be about to receive one) and
should have the following necessary and desirable experience:
Essential: A good level of familiarity with master equations, generating
functions, SDEs and ODEs; a high level of programming skills; enthusiasm to
work with real biological data and to work with researchers from different
backgrounds; experience modelling real systems from data, preferably in
Biology and a strong, relevant, publication record and an ability to work
independently if required
Desirable: Experience dealing with the parameters of large systems of
equations; biological modelling especially of gene expression noise and
familiarity with methods to simulate stochastic chemical processes.
